Dear friends and partners in mission,
As we enter this Advent season—a time of hopeful waiting and renewed commitment to God’s justice as witnessed in Mary’s Magnificat—we invite you to help amplify a message close to the heart of our shared mission. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has launched the Cabrini Pledge, a call to stand with migrants and refugees by fostering encounter, accompaniment, and advocacy in the spirit of
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini.
Because of your deep engagement in social justice ministry alongside the Jesuits, your voice carries weight in inspiring others to act. If you haven't already seen or signed the pledge, you can find it here: https://www.usccb.org/cabrinipledge
